Sermoneta

The territory of Sermoneta was already populated in the Archaic period. In its territory, stood the ancient Volsca city of Sulmo, mentioned by Virgilo in the Aeneid.

 

The expansion of the Pontine marshes and the invasions of the Saracens pushed the inhabitants of ancient Sulmo to move to the current Sermoneta, which is mentioned with this name as early as the 11th century.
